3D Work Breakdown Structure (3D WBS)

Let’s talk about the instanciation of the products (PBSi) ! (one important notion of the 3D WBS model)



I defined the PBSi, Product Breakdown Structure instancied.



Before being installed/constructed somewhere (GBS), the product (PBS) must be instancied, to become unique, with a name.



For instance, you have to build two “viaducts”, this is the products. You instance (a kind of clonage) these products and they become “Viaduct #1” and “Viaduct #2”, they become uniques. It is the same family of products because the activities (ABS) deployed on it are the same to build the viaducts, in a planning point of view.



To be noted that the activities (ABS) are deployed on products (PBS) with an order number, this is the successors!



Now products instancied (PBSi) can be assigned in a location (GBS, area).



All the time schedule is defined in the WBS matrix, on a A3 page.



When my WBS matrix is filled, I can create a 3000 tasks time schedule in 2 seconds !

Without entering datas in the software. An algorithm analyses all the correspondences and generates all the time schedule tasks, scheduled (linked), with codification and durations, ready to be impoted automatically into the planning software (PRIMAVERA P6, MS PROJECT, ASTA, SPIDER, etc.).

I have already planned quikcly and well a lot of huge EPC project with this methodology and my VBA EXCEL tool.
